Typical Jason Statham film then. All action no messing and mindless brilliance! First one was mental, second one looks equally so.

didnt he die in the first one....does high voltage pertain to the fact that he had some kind of frankenstein resurection...

Think the second one is even better!
Saw it last night and was almost in tears laughing at points.

Quite possibly the greatest film ever. So non-PC that I'm surprised the Daily Wail hasn't started a campaign against it yet.

If you like that, see Shoot em Up.

The most crazy and bizarre film on that theme. Like Cranked but slightly cleverer and utterly insane amounts of shooting.

Thats what I thought, but he blinks and you can hear a heartbeat at the end. It was on ITV4 last night, can't wait to see the second one smile

I wasnt expecting to like either Cranks, but I thought they were fantastic.

Not a huge fan of Jason Statham, but I think he's the perfect actor for these films.

Crank High Voltage had everything I like in a film.

Is it possible to buy a Jason Statham box set? Includes the Cranks and The Transporters? That would be an awesome weekend, get the mates round, Pizza, beers and movies.

Crank was a a long way short of the transporter stuff (the rolling audi/remove the bomb scene is my favorite....."stupid stunt" ever)

Shoot em up was the first film i have stopped before halfway since On Deadly Ground with Steven "What does it take to change the essence of a man" Segal

Death Race and The Bank Job aren't bad either.
